history

Surname

Horner Heerstraße, formerly Horner Straße , was named after the district of Horn, first mentioned in 1185 as Horne . Horn comes from the Low German term for tip or spur and was an old field name ( Auf dem Horne, Im Horne ). The Horner Church stood at the tip of a headland between the then two upper reaches of the Kleine Wümme . In Bremen and Umzu, many military roads were built after 1800 or roads were named as military roads (see Bremen streets ).

development

Horn was known as a village from the 12th century and still belonged to the Vogtei Langwedel , then to Goh Hollerland . The Ecclesia sanctae crucis tom Horne (Church of the Holy Cross in Horn) was built around 1115 and 1180. The Horner Strasse at that time is said to have emerged as an extension of Vahrer Strasse .

Until the middle of the 19th century, the road and the surrounding area were still characterized by the farms and estates such as Gut zum Schorf , Gut Landruhe and Gut Alten Eichen owned by the shipowner Wätjen .

From 1811 to 1815, Horn (190 inhabitants) received communal independence for the first time during the French occupation as part of Mairie Borgfeld .
Around 1816–1819, the Horner Heerstraße was paved and expanded as a military road.
A new, classical Horner church was built in 1823/24. In 1855 Horn had 805 inhabitants, today around 4600. In 1871/1888 Horn and Lehe were merged.

Only a few areas were destroyed in the air raids on Bremen in 1942.

In 1969 the depot for a shopping center was torn down. In 1975 the two-storey restaurant St-Pauli was demolished for a parking lot in front of this shopping center.

traffic

From 1876 there was the first Bremen horse-drawn tram between Herdentor (Bremen-Mitte) and Horner Bridge; 1892 as the first electric tram. In 1972 tram line 4 from Domshof to Horn was discontinued. In 1998 a new line 4 was inaugurated, which led to the Leher roundabout. The depot for the horse-drawn tram and then the trams and buses was demolished in 1969 and a supermarket was created there by the BSAG.

The Bremen tram runs on the Horner Heerstraße 4 (Arsten - Horn), since 2002 to Borgfeld and since 2014 to Lilienthal / Falkenberg

In local transport in Bremen , the bus routes 21 (Sebaldsbrück - Police Headquarters - Horner Church - University), 31 (Oberneuland - Horn) and 33/34 (Horn - Osterholzer Landstraße - Osterholzer Heerstraße - Sebaldsbrück) operate on Horner Heerstraße .

Bus lines 630 (to Lilienthal, Zeven and Heeslingen ) and 670 (to Worpswede ) go to the surrounding area .
